Most sciatica resolves completely with the right treatment. About 80-90% of cases improve significantly within 6-12 weeks without surgery.

The key is addressing what’s actually causing it. Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Once we identify whether it’s a disc issue, piriformis syndrome, or spinal stenosis, we can target treatment effectively. Many patients who thought they’d need surgery found relief through chiropractic care combined with specific exercises.
